Fishing At the right time of year the seas around Iona abound with mackerel. Book Mark and Freya for a sail combined with a fishing trip. 01681 700 537.

Round Iona Boat Trip Circumnavigating Iona by boat is a memorable experience. On calm evenings the Staffa boats will run impromptu trips and will usually let the hotel know. Otherwise either Mark in Freya or for a more high speed alternative Gordon MacCormick in Volante will do the job. Gordon is on 01681 700 362.
